      Was probably being too literal. Handbrake turns aren’t fishtailing and while I’ve only ever done them to mess around, they’re also used in rally and whatnot

      Edit: I searched and while I always heard fishtailing used for uncontrolled rear slippage, it seems it can also just refer to oversteer? Didn’t know

        Yeah I’m not a native english speaker so I’m not sure about the correct terminology. Oversteer is probably better one here.
